Robin Johnson will probably never forget the day that her daughter, Natalie Griffin, lost part of her leg.

The two were cutting grass together May 20 at their home near Forty-Acre Rock in Flat Creek.

Johnson stopped the mower and 5-year-old Natalie stepped down, but she accidentally stepped in a small hole on the top of the mower. And with the blade still engaged, it immediately severed her right leg about two to three inches below her knee.

Between sighs and angry groans, state Sen. Mick Mulvaney tried to process Wednesday’s admission from Gov. Mark Sanford about his extramarital affair.

“We all know when we go into political office that we are held to a higher standard, but with this action, he fails to meet even the lowest standard,” Mulvaney said. “I’m disappointed in him as a governor and as a person.”
